The Effective NHS Non-Executive Director

The effective NHS Non-Executive Director is an interactive one-day course specifically designed for aspiring, newly appointed and serving Non-Executive Directors of NHS Trusts and NHS provider organisations including Social Enterprises

The course provides an essential grounding in corporate governance in the context of the NHS and wider healthcare provision during a period of great change.

In order to be effective members of an NHS or healthcare provider board, Non-Executive Directors need to fully understand their roles and responsibilities particularly with respect to the identification and management of risk, accountability, oversight, assurance and governance.

Recent high profile incidents such as Mid Staffordshire and Winterbourne View have thrown into the spotlight the important role that Non-Executive Directors have in ensuring that the needs of patients and service users are met in a safe, clinical environment. Using appropriate case studies, the course explores ways in which Non-Executive Directors can address these often sensitive and sometimes uncomfortable issues.

Strategic Risk Governance - A one-day workshop for company directors

Are you aware of the director’s role in effectively governing risk and being equipped with the tools to do so?
The June 2013 report by distinguished risk professionals on over 40 company failures, published by insurance group Airmic, concludes that firms
“… had underlying weaknesses that made them especially prone both to crises and to the escalation of a crisis into a disaster. These weaknesses … potentially inherent in all organisations … can pose an existential threat to any firm, however substantial, that fails to recognise and manage them. These risk areas are beyond the scope of insurance and mainly beyond the reach of traditional risk analysis and management techniques as they have evolved so far.”
This report identified seven areas of weakness. The top two were board level skills gaps and board risk blindness.
This one-day workshop aims to improve your risk governance skills and begin to improve your strategic risk vision.
